More Iowa State Fair politics, new campaign ads
Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks began with the slew of senior Trump administration officials who came to support Republican candidates during the Iowa State Fair, questions about Pete Hegseth's campaign appearance for Zach Nunn, and the president's short-term decision on beef imports. They covered several stories related to the races for governor and U.S. Senate, including new ads on both sides, a few news items from the Congressional campaigns, and finished with state fair controversies and speeches by candidates for state treasurer, state auditor, secretary of state, and attorney general.
